The best free events at MSFW

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) has rolled around again. We might still be shivering in our coats, but it’s time to start planning our spring/summer wardrobes.

MSFW has a variety of events on between August 28 – September 4. And plenty of them are free!
A lot of designers and retailers are holding free runway events to show their new collections. Here are some that are open to the public:

Kevin Murphy Style Bar
This will be available throughout MSFW at the Hub – visit thatsmelbourne.com.au/msfw for times.

Hair and Makeup Workshop
MSFW: Hub
August 31, 6.30pm – 7.30pm

If you prefer to shop rather than sit at a runway, the following events may be more of interest:

Emerging Designer Market
MSFW: Hub
August 30
10am – 5pm

The Dapper Guide to Vertical Melbourne (this one’s for the chaps!)
Lord Coconut
Carlow House – Level 4, 289 Flinders Lane
September 2, 6.30pm – 9.45pm
Note: this is a free event but guests must register at the Lord Coconut website.

Vogue has also partnered with MSFW to bring Vogue Fashion’s Night Out (VFNO) to Melbourne on Friday, August 28. VFNO will debut at MSFW: Shop the City, which will take place across Melbourne from August 28 – August 30.
